Hej!

My name is Marco, I’m a Danish/Sri Lankan Art Director and Senior Graphic Designer based in Montclair, New Jersey. Design is my passion. I started drawing when I was 5 and the joy of creating something visual out of abstract concepts and ideas remains with me to this day.

I collaborate with my clients to help solve problems that need graphic design. This can be as diverse as;

• Environmental design for corporate office buildings, tradeshows, and events.

• Concept sketching during brainstorming sessions, live focus group evaluations, and for use in concept pitches, speaker presentations, and other corporate visualizations.

• Visual identity design, for companies, products, and services.

For me, the human connection is of the utmost importance. Good design needs to connect to a viewer, a consumer, or a visitor. My clients have a vision – and a challenge. Together we discuss and define the goals and then I translate those ideas into tangible creative visions.

I am not AI. I am a human who loves the creativity of the human connection. That’s how great design evolves. I’m looking forward to working with you. Design by a human.

“Marco is a true professional. Fantastic communication, truly listens to your needs. He took the thoughts I shared on a new logo, and brought them to a whole new place I never would have gotten to on my own. He is an excellent collaborator. Works fast. Produces top tier work. Anyone I know who needs graphic design help, I'm sending them over to Studio de Mel.”
